Moma Robin Nests On RV Bath House
Last week's GUEST BIRD #2 is a Clark’s Grebe. We photographed it at Klamath Lake in Klamath Falls, Oregon in 2006. As is common, the Clark’s Grebes were with Western Grebes. Here are photos of both. 
Clark’s is white around the eye; Western is black. Here they are for comparison, Clark’s on left, Western on right. 
We’re still not sure about our mystery bird mentioned in the previous blog. Song Sparrow was suggested, but according to our bird book Song Sparrows are 6.25”. These birds were much smaller than that. See photos in the last blog… any other ideas?
Today we had the pleasure of seeing a nest with newly hatched robins, eyes still closed. Momma Robin built her nest on the outside window ledge of the restroom at an RV park in New Paris, Ohio. We’re wondering why there rather than in one of the many trees all around. Hope they stay safe. Here’s a photo of three hungry little birds.

Great pictures. What kind of feeder and food do you use? Any luck getting hummingbirds?

The sparrow is a Song Sparrow. Sizes and lengths are sometimes confusing as most of us have trouble visualizing sizes. A House Sparrow (6") seems huge compared to a little Chipping Sparrow (5 1/2") when seen together on a nicely mown lawn. Some birds are just bulkier.
Hopefully this birding section will continue. Birding has become my great passion now that I'm retired - in fact, it's become my reason for rving most of the time. HaHa. I love to travel around seeing new places; however being a solo rver, I tend to want a bit of focus to my trips - birding supplies that very nicely. One also gets to meet many birders and other solo travellers along the way.
